Elevator Buckets Best in Class

Elevator buckets and wear liner materials were the topics of interest at today’s Kinder & Co Conveyor Safety and Maintenance Training. The 3 hour complimentary session was attended by a team from Ridley AgriProducts, whose Barastoc business group offers a range of pellets, meals, concentrates and premixes specifically formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of dairy cattle, pigs, poultry, horses and pets. Attendees included head office project managers as well as site maintenance engineers from Terang and Pakenham.

Kinder & Co’s Operations Manager Charles Pratt presented the training and as well as providing technical industry standard specification data, he was also able to share relevant agriculture and grain experiences with the group.

Ridley’s attendees scored our session very highly on the evaluation forms, with feedback indicating that the training had been an effective educational event, and that the information would be applied when they got back to site.

Keeping the conveyed material on the belt and avoiding spillage and leakage is a principle function of plant productivity and efficiency. So achieving perfect conveyor belt alignment under all operating conditions is a principle function of good conveyor hardware and conveyor structure.

We know that the Eraser Primary Belt Cleaning System is top class. We know that its key benefits make it a popular choice by customers from a broad range of bulk material applications and industries.
We know this because of the direct response feedback that we receive from sites that have installed the Eraser:
“Working well, easy to install, no signs of blade wearing.”

A good conveyor preventive maintenance plan doesn’t need to be expensive or time consuming. A daily floor walk is one of the best techniques for checking a system’s health. Small, easily observed clues such as oil drippings, belt shavings, or unusual noise can indicate a worn or failing part. To ensure you’re not overlooking these signs, keep your operation clean. Alternate conveyor maintenance technicians on a quarterly rotation to ensure fresh eyes.

We have updated our range of material flow High Bin Level Indicators with new brochures for our range of Mercury Tilt Switches. Instead of a single combined brochure, there are now 5 separate product brochures, each with clearly tabulated product properties and functionality information so that you can select a tilt switch to suit your application – click on the list below to view:

The thin flexibility of the K-Slip Low Friction Liner allows almost any complicated shape to be lined including bins, hoppers and chutes, providing a smooth uniform surface area and immediately improving the controlled rate of flow.

A cement customer recently shared these “before and after” on site repair pictures with us. They clearly demonstrate how our exclusive K-Magna Patches offer an instant and effective temporary repair solution to fix spillage problems in and around ferrous metal chutes and pipes.

Kinder Australia is delighted to announce that we are now the EXCLUSIVE supplier of the complete range of IMI Tramp Metal Separation products throughout Australia and New Zealand. These industrial magnets offer 52 MgOe rare earth material as a standard in their products, whereas most other rare earth magnets offer a maximum of 50 MgOe.

This year’s graduating students of the IQA’s Certificate IV in Surface Extraction Operations and the Diploma of Surface Operations Management were awarded their certificates at an evening dinner function last week.

The Australian Society of Bulk Solids Handling (ASBSH) last week awarded Neil Kinder with a prestigious award for his “outstanding personal contribution in the field of bulk materials handling”. The award was announced on November 5th as part of the Australian Bulk Handling Review’s annual awards, with Neil receiving his award from Professor Mark Jones of the Newcastle University.

Kinder Australia announces a new logo – the recognisable red “K” now standing out in front of the word KINDER and “EXPERIENCE INNOVATION PRODUCTIVITY” as their new slogan. “We believe that this change better reflects our business vision and passion as a continuing leader in the provision of beyond expectation, high performance, longer lasting, reliable and compliant conveyor componentry and material flow products” comments Neil Kinder, founder and CEO of Kinder Australia Pty Ltd.

Today is the 1st of April – or April Fool’s Day. It is customary on this day to play harmless practical jokes on each other. But here at Kinder Australia we are not joking and we are certainly not trying to mislead you into considering any of our reliable and performance-proven belt alignment products.

The damage you can’t see: Idle conveyors that have no shelter are more at risk of increased belt damage caused by surface cracking than conveyors that are running. Motionless exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun can produce a photochemical reaction that promotes the oxidation of the surface of the rubber.

Congratulations to Sean Kinder for taking out this year’s south-eastern region Melbourne Business Awards (MBA) Young Achiever Award. Sean is pictured here being presented with the award at the MBA’s recent breakfast gathering.
